Finished the meal!
Tonight, the rooms of the many wives and concubines within the Zhao Mansion are destined to be restless.
After being apart for so long.
Zhao Feng naturally needed to make up for lost time with them.
The next day!
Morning Discussion Hall!
As the court session was about to begin.
Many ministers were already waiting outside the hall to enter the court.
"Have you heard?"
"Zhao Feng has returned."
"He arrived yesterday, seemed to have entered the palace for an audience, and then returned home."
"So young yet elevated to Senior General, now being titled Martial Lord, alas, only twenty-three, comparing oneself with him is maddening."
"From today onwards, Zhao Feng Senior General will be the head of military officials."
"Must not offend."
"Even without a title lordship, Zhao Feng’s rank alone makes him the head of military officials, though young, his military achievements far surpass those of other Senior Generals."
...
The ministers congregated in small groups, discussing, with Zhao Feng being mentioned the most.
The news of Zhao Feng’s return had already spread throughout Xianyang.
His arrival caused a commotion, many citizens spontaneously greeted him, a scene evident all the way from Shaoqiu County.
Zhao Feng had become the hero of the entire Qin.
At this moment!
A six-horse carriage entered the Royal Palace Square.
Many ministers turned their attention toward it.
"Zhao Feng is here."
A minister voiced.
Many looked over.
On the carriage.
Zhao Feng had already changed into the official robe of a Qin military officer, sword at his waist.
After stepping off the carriage, he slowly walked towards the Morning Discussion Hall.
Only Zhang Ming, who drove the carriage, along with a few trusted aides remained in place.
"Wait for my command, then move into the hall." Zhao Feng said solemnly.
"Understood." Zhang Ming immediately obeyed.
Then.
Zhao Feng stepped onto the staircase.
Regarding the numerous gazes from ministers outside the hall, Zhao Feng remained composed.
When Zhao Feng approached.
Immediately, some ministers gathered around.
"Congratulations to the Senior General for returning triumphant."
"I have heard of the Senior General’s surprise attack on the Northern Frontier foreign tribes, truly admirable."
"Leading an army of thousands into the land of Northern Frontier foreign tribes, the Senior General is truly a deity."
"I salute..."
One by one, ministers congratulated Zhao Feng.
In response.
Zhao Feng naturally smiled and returned their salutes, clasping his fist: "You are too kind, I, Zhao, am a soldier of Qin, fighting on the frontlines is my duty."
These words were naturally polite responses.
At this point!
Han Fei walked over slowly.
"Lucky to be alive, eh?"
Han Fei spoke with a somewhat teasing tone.
Upon hearing this.
